Why this is a Masterpiece

After travelling in Europe in the early 1990s, Sun began to focus on the depicting of colours and light of nature, as realised in his “Green Shade” series, which reflects leisure and intimacy in city life.

History of the Object

In the 1980s Sun’s painting style switched between the classical and the realistic, establishing himself with his works of sensitive themes. He later participated at the controversial exhibition of the nude held by the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1988.
